Over the weekend, Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin scored his 895th goal, surpassing the legendary Wayne Gretzky to become the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer. To celebrate this feat, EA Sports released a video congratulating Ovechkin and offering in-game rewards in NHL 25.
Starting today, players can log into Hockey Ultimate Team to receive a Milestones Ovechkin item. Ovechkin HUT Moments challenges will grant tokens to upgrade the item. Additionally, EA Sports is adding an "895 Ovechkin" HUT item that features special art and a 99 overall rating. Finally, NHL 25 is adding a commemorative "895" jersey in World of Chel and making it available to all players.

Alexander Ovechkin first appeared in an EA Sports NHL game in 2006 with NHL 07, where he also served as the cover athlete. Since then, he has appeared in every entry and was the cover athlete of NHL 21 and NHL 94 Rewind, making him one of only three players to be featured on the cover of EA Sports' NHL franchise multiple times. He was also the cover athlete of NHL 2K10 in the now-defunct NHL 2K series.
A whole new meaning to the term 'Greatest of All Time.'
